Difference between '03 LX & Legacy ?

dhacker · 01-21-2003, 06:37 AM

I strictly use my bow for hunting. After seeing the information from the show, I am looking for opinions of the advantages of the LX over the Legacy for hunting only. Also, if I understand correctly, there were no changes to the '03 Legacy over the '02; is that true?

I have looked at the archerytalk.com web info and '03 Mathew bow pics but there wasn't alot of information on the '03 Legacy.

the LX has a lower brace height,for 8 to 10 more fps, and new limb pockets. advantages over the legacy for a hunting bow, not much. my .02 jim

And if I remember right, there is a new cam design on the LX.

I believe the new cam is 65 or 80% letoff whereas the Legacy is 70%. I also believe that their is supposed to be a much smoother valley on the LX. My consideration is whether to buy an '02 Legacy versus the '03 LX if there is no difference.

Does anyone know the LX brace height? I believe the speed is said to be 315fps.

The brace height is supposed to be 6 5/8th inches. I have heard speed quotes anywhere from 314 to 317 fps.
